    Default Advice sought - How to break in to the Jewellery Trade?

    I recently went for an interview over at Cheltenham, but did not get it. I graduated back in 1999 and seriously determined to get back in to this precarious trade. What I would like to know is what IS THE BEST WAY to get your foot in? I am also considering doing another jewellery course, extra to my degree. I did want to find an apprentice type course but they appear to be imaginary.

    Can anyone help me ? What would be the best way in?:

    Hi Jo
    Can't really suggest a way to get in as an apprentice, the positions are few and far between.
    Keep an eye on the trade press, sometimes ad's appear in them.
    Extra courses are always useful
    Good Luck

    When I was at the Goldsmiths fair a couple of weeks ago, I heard a jeweller tell a guy that she started just by selling to galleries. Maybe you could go and hassle a few
